When I was the president elect of my local club I was taken around campus during Parents Weekend to meet the different faculty members that the local former President knew and had worked with during her year. Everyone was so welcoming but then again we’re in Aggieland and all the facility open their doors and were so helpful but when I came into this persons office I was so at home. He welcomed us into his office and we hit it off from the beginning.  Every time we meet, he asks about my aggies  and remembers their activities, and what they’re up to. We  just pick up where we left off from the prior visit.

We share stories about our children and now that mine have left Aggieland we talk about their new adventures and journeys. He has been there giving me support during the growing pains and helped celebrate at those proud moments of being an aggie parent.

During my year as the local club’s president whenever I had a question about something going on at Aggieland I would just contact him and he would have the answer or find out the answer for me. If I needed a speaker – he came.

Dr. Kevin Jackson was Director of Student Activities when I first meet him years ago and is now the Assistant VP for Student Affairs. Kevin has been at A&M for about 20 years during which time he has worked closely with our students, student organizations and the staff who advise these organizations. Kevin received his doctorate  at A&M. He has worked as a member of the VP for Student Affairs Staff and as the Senior Associate Director of the Memorial Student Center. He has received many awards throughout the years. Including being an Honorary Member of the Singing Cadets, the Diversity Leadership Award from the Student Government Association, has had a Fish Camp named after him, and the Former Students Distinguished  Achievement Award in Student Relations.

Kevin supports the Aggie Moms as a whole. You will see him at our Federation Meetings as well as being a speaker at our local clubs. He works with our students on a day to day basis.

I want to thank Kevin for all he does for our organization and for our students while they are here at A&M.
